Margo Scarpulla Bio: In my ceramic work I focus on developing shapes and images which are pleasing to the eye as well as with a certain tactile quality which is a significant part of its allure. My firing techniques include: saggar, raku, horsehair, and pit firing. I also work in glass (pâte de verre) and encaustics.

Art piece: Horse Hair Vessel with Pine Needles, 7” x 6.5”, $165

Sharon Bloom Bio: Sharon has been creating whimsical folk art style ceramic art for over 30 years. Her love of seasonal holidays inspires her, especially Halloween. Sharon’s favorite method of construction is pinch pottery, where she can express her imagination dimensionally in a variety of forms. Having a formal education in painting and drawing transfers to her work that is rich with surface design.

Art piece: “Fraidy Cats”, 4” x 4” x 8” Ceramic Sculptural Rattles, $80 each Valley Community Newspapers, Inc.

Sandy Feder Bio: I grew up making arts and crafts with my Mom. In college at U C Davis, I took my first glass class and was hooked. I have been making glass ever since then. I graduated with a BS in Math and an MS in computer science.

I spent many years working at Aerojet and then ended up as a community college teacher of computer science at Sacramento City College.

I love making art glass and hope my customers love it too!

Art piece: Teal circle of life pendant and bracelet with silver plated metal and my custom-made art glass. The pendant is about 2 inches long and costs $75. The bracelet is adjustable to different sized wrists and costs $45 Lynn Wood Bio: At age 40, I made the transition from part-time artist to full-time. I never looked back. Clay has been my best teacher. I am an exhibiting member of the ACGA and sell my work at a variety of craft fairs. My work is notable for the variety of applied surfaces. Functional but decorative as well.

Art piece: small oval textured basket, $48.00, 8” x 3.75” x 5.75”.

René Doucette Breshears Bio: René Doucette Breshears was brought up enjoying and learning to love nature at the California’s beaches and woods. She and her family enjoyed being artists using different mediums such as wood, painting, weaving, quilting, photography and mosaics. She has an innate need to help mother earth and its environment survive and flourish. From youth through today, she has been involved in creating some type of artwork. Since taking pottery classes in High School, clay has always been her favorite medium, and in retirement she has refocused on learning about and creating pottery.

Art piece: “Cold Caldron”, 3.5” x 4”, $25 Dania Lukey Bio: Dania Lukey is a full time studio potter in the Sacramento area. After receiving her architecture degree from Cal Poly at San Luis Obisbo and studying in Italy, Dania discovered her love for clay while pursuing her Masters in Education at Sacramento State University. There, her interests in architecture, Japanese poetry, contemporary art, and ancient textiles found a natural expression in form and function. She currently works from her home studio in Carmichael where she lives with her husband, dog Lucy, assorted cats, and their three chickens.

Art piece: “Lust Hobb Series”, Dinner Plate 9 1/2” $50, Vase 7” $75, Cappuccino cup w/saucer 4” x 2 ½ “ $40 Valley Community Newspapers, Inc.

Elizabeth Wocasek Bio: I’ve been a working artist since 2001. Although I take part time jobs here and there, I spend the majority of my time in the studio, working towards the next show. My expressive work is the result of my intuition, love of color, form, nature and the animal world. Everything I do, from jewelry holders to every ceramic piece, has layers of color, which is how I see the world, both internal and external.

Art piece: “Primary Chicken with Heart”, 9” x 5.5”, $125 Penny Leff Bio: Penny Leff is a Sacramento potter who creates high-fired functional tableware made for everyday use. She has worked with various crafts over the years, including leather and soapstone, but now enjoys working with clay and participating in the supportive Sacramento region ceramics community.

Art piece: “Forest pitcher”, 9” x 5”, $95

East Sac Urban Biergarten to Host Trivia Fundraiser for United Way Oct. 14 Young professionals will descend on SacYard Community Tap House’s urban Biergarten in East Sacramento to enjoy independent craft brews and trivia at United Way’s 7th annual Brews and Brains fundraiser on Oct. 14. The outdoor event is hosted

by United Way’s Young Leaders Society and sponsored by Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Tickets are on sale and include a raffle, commemorative pint glass, food and entertainment to raise funds for United Way’s work to create digital equity across the region.

Tickets are expected to sell out.

For tickets: YourLocalUnitedWay.org/YLS-Brews-Brains.

“Brews and Brains is one of the most anticipated trivia nights of the year,” said Eric Grabin, chair, United Way’s Young Leaders Society. “What can be better than trivia, brews and food while supporting the ongoing effort of United Way’s Digital Equity program and Young Leaders Society?”

United Way launched its three-year digital equity part-

nership with the City of Sacramento, SMUD, City of Rancho Cordova and community nonprofits in July to close the local digital divide – unequal technology and internet access – that has expanded during the pandemic. Building on its pilot projTWO HOMES ON NEARLY A HALF ACRE!

3003 19th Ave $575,000 Shared large driveway with rolling iron gate separates the two homes. Located close to freeway access, shopping and public transportation! The front house is 2 story, 3 bedrooms 3 full bathrooms, updated kitchen and bathrooms. New interior and exterior paint. New laminate flooring, tile in the kitchen and bathrooms. Indoor laundry room. Fenced backyard.

The back house is 3 bedrooms 2 full bathrooms, updated kitchen and bathrooms. Home is occupied by long term tenants.

ect with the City of Sacramento in fall 2020, United Way and its partners are working to address the issue of digital equity longterm both inside and beyond the city limits. The program will provide internet access for up to 1,000 households a year, refurbished desktop computers for up to 500 people per year and digital literacy training through online resources and classes.

With more than 24 million unconnected households nationwide, the digital divide disproportionately affects minority and low-income populations. According to the Federal Communications Commission, 35 percent of adults

who do not use broadband at home are older, poorer, less educated, more likely to be a racial or ethnic minority, and more likely to have a disability than those with a home connection.

In Sacramento, there are neighborhoods where 25 percent of households have no internet access. To learn more: YourLocalUnitedWay.org/Digital.

“The digital divide is not new, but it has expanded rapidly with the pandemic when so many parents began working from home and kids began learning remotely,” said Amber Lovett, interim president and CEO, United Way California Capital Region. “We need

to address this issue immediately. We are grateful to United Way’s Young Leaders Society for recognizing that this is a critical program for achieving equity across the region, and for selecting this program for their fundraising work this year.”

United Way’s Young Leaders Society creates opportunities for young professionals who live or work in the California capital region to connect with peers and community leaders and give back through acts of service and volunteering.

To learn more or join: YourLocalUnitedWay.org/YLS. For nearly 100 years, United Way California Capital Region has brought local people together to make community change happen. With a mission to build stronger, healthier and more compassionate communities, the local United Way starts at square one: helping every family succeed so their community can too.

Serving Amador, El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento and Yolo counties, the local United Way is working to meet its 20-year commitment to significantly reduce poverty in the region by building capacity in undervalued communities, creating meaningful partnerships, seeking equity in education and making social justice investments in families.

Alzheimer’s Association Walk to be held on Oct. 16 What may look like a solemn procession of individuals carrying flowers in memory of loved ones through Swenson Park Golf Course in Stockton on Saturday, Oct. 16 will be a swell of families and friends raising money for the Alzheimer’s Association.

With the coronavirus impacting large gatherings, the AA announced on their website the event encourages people to be fully vaccinated to attend. Also, with safety on people’s minds, people may choose to walk in their own neighborhoods.

The event begins with an 8 a.m. registration, followed by a ceremony at 9 a.m. and the walk at 9:30 a.m.

Elsie Warner, whose husband Don Warner of 60plus years, has a form of

dementia known as Lewy body, has varying degrees of forgetfulness from one day to the next. She and her daughter Denise Campion have participated in the walks in past years (except last year) and have been strong advocates for the Alzheimer’s Association for the support that they have received as caregivers and family of Don Warner. In a previous year, Elsie was pushed in her wheelchair by friends and family on her walk team. They said they appreciated the feeling of camaraderie at the walks.

One of the services that Denise has appreciated has been the 24-hour helpline.

By going to alz.org you can find out the closest resources, support and educational programs to you.

Additional Sacramento area Alzheimer’s Association events that are coming up include a yard sale at Campion’s house on Saturday, Oct. 9 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., 134 Partridge Drive, Galt. Furniture, household items, interior decor, yard and garden, tools, garage workbench/cabinet, clothes, purses, prints, paintings, window treatments, bath towels and accessories, electronics, holiday frames, books toys, bedding, quilt set, office supplies, materials and craft supplies. From 2 to 3 p.m., fill a bag full for $2; 3 pm. Make an offer on all remaining items; 3 p.m., children’s toys and fall theme basket raffle drawing, $1 each. All proceeds will go to the Alzheimer’s Association.

If wondering if your loved one has Alzheimers…

According to alz.org, the following information indicates the difference between Alzheimer’s and typical agerelated changes, if you are wondering about someone you may suspect as having the disease.

Someone with Alzheimer’s can often make bad decisions, versus occasional poor decision making.

Someone with Alzheimer’s may not be able to keep track of their finances, versus someone who might

miss paying a bill once in a while.

Someone with Alzheimer’s may not know if it’s summer or winter. Someone with typical age-related changes in this category includes not knowing the day of the week but can figure it out later.

Someone with Alzheimer’s might have difficulty having a conversation versus someone who forgets which word to use in the middle of a conversation.

Someone with Alzheimer’s might lose things and not be able to retrace steps to find them. Someone who has typical age-related changes might include losing things from time to time. www.valcomnews.com • October 7, 2021 • East Sacramento News
